The AST 4250, when properly set-up, would be above the level of the both KW V-series and TCKR DA's.

What's KW's linear spring offering? Clubsports?

What are the main differences between the RS and RS1 in terms of on-track performance and off-track usability?
I am planning to upgrade at some point in the future so I am interested.

When I was e46 coilover shopping JRZ was just about to release a single adjustable damper, not sure about the model name. In talking to Bimmerworld extensively, they were pretty clear on the differences from going with TCk and AST and that JRZ was stepping up.
In case anyone is wondering, the ASTs are nice...don't get me wrong...but it was explained to me that the TCK's had a better rear spring design and the dampers seem to hold up better. Plus you can talk to TC Kline himself when you call and ask retarded questions. (I think he waits until I hang up to laugh at me.
) I've seen a couple of somewhat in depth articles on how TC Kline develops suspension systems and I like their approach.
